As a sufferer of depression I cannot express how much this song relates to how I often feel as a human in a world of utter insanity.

In reference to those who are talking about what this song is about: this was written in part by fantasy writer Michael Moorcock and is about his Eternal Champion character. The character has many incarnations from Elric of Melniboné to Hawkmoon and Corum. Each are driven to fight to strike a balance between elemental Law and Chaos. As the struggle is unending, The Champion is afforded little rest and so you have him singing his sorrow in this song.
This doesn't mean you can't apply the lament to your own struggles. There were many influences on the author at the time, including the Vietnam conflict, social unrest and the plight of the addicted and you can easily draw analogies to them. That's the genius of this song.

REMINDS ME OF PLAYING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS AS A TEENAGER AND WATCHING HEAVY METAL THE MOVIE... DAMN I MISS THOSE DAYS ....;(

I was watching Heavy Metal but since they played this in the beginning I just couldn't focus on the movie... Had to take a break to listen to it.

It's like a military march. Straight into hell...

This is the kind of music that makes you wanna snort a big bag of plutonian nyborg.

Songs like this are why I don't care for most modern music. The lyrics are haunting and deep. The image they create is strong and the instruments create the atmosphere. A masterpiece from B.O.C.

I always thought that this song is about mental problems, like depression, neurosis etc. But even now, after finding out that it's Moorcocks text, I still like previous explanation better. It really depicts how I felt and sometimes still feel about myself and how hard it's to live with these problems.

There is no piece of music in history that speaks to me like this.

One of my all time favorite songs.
Support our veterans with PTSD!

The words to this song reminds me of every bad relationship I've ever had.

I think everybody's got a personal hell and this song encompasses the feeling of having to drag yourself through it. Music is magnanimous and indiscriminate. Why you dingbats are arguing this song's meaning is beyond me.

I remember playing this for my brother, who did 3 tours in Vietnam, and he said whoever wrote it could see inside his head. God, I miss my brother, he passed 23 years ago and I think of him every day.

When you have lived on your own 100% supporting yourself since you were14 living on the mean streets of New Orleans, you know what it is to be
"Veteran of Psychic wars" !
When this came out it was very cool to have survived those years and have a theme song for it !
